DEMOCRATS SHOULD FIGHT.
Che people OF New York are fully awGE-
ened to the gravity of the situation il
that state consequent upon the intrusion
CT the United Labor party sEd the havoc
it is cresfing in the ranks OF the old par
ties. Tae danger OF SUCCESS is not feared,
nor ne interest aroused merely par
L;sap, but springs rather from patriotic
motives and desire to prevent the pre-
psgation Of theories End ideas inimioal to
the we'll being OF society and the stability
of the institutions Of the country. The
doctrines which are being taught By
Henry George and his followers ere revo-
lutiousry in their nature and the errors
SO ably and elcquentl7 promulgated are
not $ whit the less viciou3 because
the ballot instead OF the bsyonet
i3 being appealed 10 IS means Of
crystalliziHg these sentiments Into Law,
but the opponents Of Henry George and
the advOCStas OF justice dc not appear TO
be meeting the issue honestly or pra2-
tic&ly. The United Labor party has
platform which the leaders OF that party
cling TO consistently, msgnifying and
ela5oratiug It's U,opiGn beauties upon all
occasions, while, if we are to believe the
Times, STR, HvI&ld, Tribune, and other
IesdiDg journals, the only arguments
used TO combat these theories arc attacks
upon Mr.. Georges honesty and sincerity,
and cle7er Epecul2tions on the prog
pect CT his defeat, with never
word as TO the dement's of his
claimg, or reason why he should
not triumph. His platform OF principles
has not been attacked, nor the errors
therein contained pointed out by clear,
cogeut reasoning, snd the scslpeI OF logic
lies idle il their hands. Waen George
says that land tx is the best for the
country, and fortihes his position by mas
terly arguments, he is answered By the
naked assertion hist the farmers will rot
vote for him; when he proposes toaboish
poverty by certain character Of Iegisla-
ton his arguments are answered by cyni-
col criticisms upon his alleged avarice,
Gni when be presents arguments to show
how he proposes to restore the rights OF
the common people, which he claims
sre denied them, he is told that
the socialists will oppose him. Il
cannot be that the movement Of which he
is the head is insignificant and unworthy
serious consideration, else why are these
columns OF I&bored editorials appearing
dsiiy in the leading journals Of both the
old parties? l! cannot be that the posi-
ton of that party Is invincipIe, or that
the arguments Of Its leaders are unan-
swerable, because that would mean 6
virtual surrender, ard g surrender II
should be if the principles OF the Labor
party sre superior TO ali others. People,
not only ii New York, but all over the
country, are continually seeking the very
best fern Of government possible and
psrty principles that cannot be
defended on any and all occasions
